FISHING 5/24/09
Let's go catch a fish, I know its raining but the fish are already wet so they don't care. They are hungry and it is your job to feed them. Yes, the wind is blowing but I would think by now we all have spots where we can hide, it has been two months! South east wind, not the favorite but as we all know this wind just blows every thing to us,I feel like a Snook waiting on that incoming tide. Wind is not blowing this morning, river is flat, off shore it is looking real good, lets' go catch fish.
They are all up close, the bait is in the cross roads, at the sand pile, on the barge, bait is everywhere and up close at that. King fish action starts in forty feet, Dolphin in eighty feet and Cobia are every where, how sweet is that. When you are on a bait school chances are, so are the fish, first bait in gets rigged and put over the other side, pitch rod is rigged and ready. You are on the bait school, why would the fish not be there? Cobia are 33" tot he fork, if this fish even looks small just take the hook out and watch the next one will far exceed that 33", using that pitch rod I keeping talking about. Lots of Kings, so you can pick and chose the one you want to take home, keep the small Kings, excellent on the grill. Dolphin a plenty, all these fish are twenty pound class fish and eighty feet and less is the location, take only what you can eat, a fish is to important resource to be caught only one time. Live baits or trolled ballyhoo found lots of fish.
Surf anglers, one cast one Blue fish???? Every time I think that is the end of these fish they make another strong show. On the catch list this week Whiting, Pompano, Permit and Pompano. It is that time, not sure about the Pompano but the Snook and Permit will be there, work the trough, these fish will be close not deep. Small crabs for the Permit, these fish do not mind the bright sun but high tide is the favored time.
Snook, try that D.O.A bait buster or that Crystal Minnow, slow retrieve, just keep it bumping the bottom and hang on. The tarpon have been rolling but still out of range for casting, small boat, well now we have the answer.
River anglers over the week end the Pompano bite off the relief bridges on the causeways. limits again. Blues on the surf and pompano from the bridge? Not sure why they are still here but it sure makes for an excellent summer catch, Jigging Spoons are the favored bait. Trout from the North Fork to the power plant, to many location to list, look for the grass edges and that high falling tide is the time. Snook early in the flats then off to the deeper shaded water, low light is the key. Tarpon are every where, north and south forks, crossroads and your guess is as good as mine. One day it is live the next it changes, I would have it all from small to big. Start with the bigger baits then go smaller, look in area to see what is there and try to match the hatch. Still plenty of Drum and Sand Perch at the bridges with a few Flounder mixed in to keep your attention. Snook season closes on the thirty first, did you find your slot yet?????????????
Till next week, where is the rain gear???????...........................HENRY
